About this map

Leatherwood Ranch and Lewis Ranch anchor the northern landscape of this San Miguel County territory at the start of the twenty-first century. The terrain is defined by the high-plains ranching economy, where wide-open grazing land is punctuated by drainage systems like Rito Vegoso and the winding course of Canon del Agua. This 2010 survey illustrates the modern layout of rural landholdings, showing the spatial relationship between isolated homesteads such as Spurlock Ranch and Belden Ranch. The network of local and state roads crossing this landscape highlights the continued importance of these historical ranching outposts in northeastern New Mexico, providing a clear record of property locations and natural hydrology before further regional development.
